The lobbying bill currently making its way through parliament fails to ensure full disclosure of the UK’s £2 billion influence industry, excluding the vast majority of commercial lobbyists and providing only minimal disclosure of others.

Sunlight urges others who support transparency of lobbying sign the petition.
